no-milk buttermilk pancakes

1 c. soy/rice milk
1 T. cider vinegar or lemon juice

mix together in bowl and set aside.

1 c. whole wheat flour (you could use a non-wheat flour in these)

1 tsp. milled flax seed
1 T. sugar (or honey or agave nectar)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda

mix together in separate bowl.

2 eggs (or Ener-G egg replacer or flax goo. omit flax in dry mix if using here.)
1 tsp. vanilla or use vanilla flavored milk in milk step.
1 T. vegetable oil
1 T. applesauce

add to milk bowl and whisk.

Add liquid to dry, mix until lumpy.
Cook on griddle. Flip when bubbles pop, then cook a few more minutes.

Really good with vegan (for milk-free) or enjoy life (for soy and milk-free) chocolate chips mixed in before cooking. and yummy with pure maple syrup, agave nectar, or yogurt with honey on top.

substitutions

look at this great list of substitutions at http://www.foodallergykitchen.com/pages/fa-management/substitutions.php! helpful for allergy cooking substitutions and also maybe if you're just missing something in your kitchen when you want it.

pumpkin bars

I just made these pumpkin pie bars, and they're yummy! http://thewilsondiner.blogspot.com/2009/09/pumpkin-pie-bars.html
I just subbed out the dairy, but i think it'd work fairly well to change any of the ingredients. here are some ideas:
wheat flour - most any type of non-wheat (oat, millit...) flour should work for this
oats - could use more flour instead
butter - any type of oil or margarine
pumpkin - any type of cooked squash
evaporated milk - 4 1/2 tsp. dairifree mixed with 1 c. warm water and soy or rice milk to make 1 1/2 cups
eggs - Ener-G egg replacer or flax goo (ground flax seed mixed with warm water)
pecans - oats or maybe cereal or seeds, maybe chopped pumpkin seeds

granola bars


These granola bars are very yummy, and I think it'd be easy enough to sub out whatever ingredients you want. Of course I can never follow a recipe exactly since I get a little creative while cooking, but you should be able to switch up all sorts of ingredients in these to make whatever variety you'd like. http://www.joyfulabode.com/2008/04/11/homemade-granola-bar-recipe-no-high-fructose-corn-syrup-in-these-bars


Also made these bars today. They turn out more like those Quaker Oatmeal Squares, so I think they might be especially good with apples or something like that in them. Again, you should be able to substitute around ingredients. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Playgroup-Granola-Bars/Detail.aspx
